Mr.Chan bought some pencils for a group of students. If he gives them 2 pencils each, he will have 10 pencils left. If he gives them 3 pencils each, he will have none left. How many students are in the group?
Mr. Chan bought merchandise with a total original price of P25,136 for. Because he purchased a large quantity he is entitled of the 20% discount. How much must he pay?
which multiple of 3 is 10 more than the same multiple of 2?
3x = 2x+10
x = 10
So, 10 students, 30 pencils.
Mr chan bought 32 pencils at $24 per box and got 24 free each box contains 36 pencils then he sold all these pencils in his store at 8 pencils for $9 calculate his profit
To find the number of students in the group, we need to set up a system of equations based on the information provided.
Let's assume there are 'x' students in the group.
According to the first condition, if Mr. Chan gives each student 2 pencils, he will have 10 pencils left. This can be expressed as:
2x + 10 = total number of pencils Mr. Chan bought
According to the second condition, if Mr. Chan gives each student 3 pencils, he will have none left. This can be expressed as:
3x = total number of pencils Mr. Chan bought
Now we have a system of two equations:
2x + 10 = 3x
3x = total number of pencils Mr. Chan bought
We can solve this system of equations to find the value of 'x', which represents the number of students in the group.
Subtracting 2x from both sides in the first equation, we get:
10 = x
Therefore, there are 10 students in the group.
